The Mysterious Tale of the Man from Taured – Evidence for Parallel Universes? Or an Embellishment?

The Man from Taured (sometimes referred to as the Taured Mystery or the Man without a Country ) is a story about a man who arrives at a Japanese airport from a country called Taured. Many people have claimed this story to be true, so the crux of the problem pertains to Taured. One would notice that there is no country by the name of Taured, either today or during the purported period of time when the incident took place, i.e. the 1950s. The story ends with the man disappearing (forever) a day after arriving in Japan. Moreover, all of his personal documents, such as his passport and driver’s license also (conveniently) disappeared, thus making this strange story unsolvable.

The Man’s Arrival

The story of the ‘Man from Taured’ begins quite specifically in many sources with a hot day in July 1954. On that particular day, a man was said to have arrived at Haneda Airport, known also as Tokyo International Airport. This man has been described as Caucasian looking with a beard. Whilst his primary language is said to have been French, it has been purported that he spoke Japanese and many other languages as well. So far, there is nothing extraordinary to note...

The sequence of events then differs according to which version of the story one encounters. In one version, this man hands over his passport to be stamped, and the Japanese immigration officer notices something strange. Whilst the passport looked authentic, the country where it was issued, ‘Taured’, was recognized as non-existent, either by the officer or one of his / her colleagues, indicating that the man should be taken away for interrogation. In another version, the man mentioned that he was from Taured, and when the immigration officer did not believe him, he showed him / her his passport.

Location of Taured

The next part of the story details the man trying to convince the immigration officers that Taured does indeed exist. According to the traveler, Taured was located between France and Spain, and had by then been in existence for 1000 years.

When shown a map, the man pointed to the area occupied by the Principality of Andorra, and was puzzled as to why his country was called Andorra on the map. Both sides refused to give in – the Japanese officers insisted that Taured did not exist, and the traveler argued otherwise.

Vanished!

Eventually, the man was held by the officers, as they were suspicious that he might be some kind of criminal. They brought him to a nearby hotel for the night, whilst they conducted their investigation. To ensure that the man did not escape during the night, two guards were placed outside his room. The next morning, when the officers went to the man’s room, they realized that he had simply vanished, as there were no signs of his escape. Additionally, all of his personal documents, which may serve as evidence for the story’s validity, had apparently disappeared as well.

Travel Through Time or Space? Or Just an Exaggeration?

One of the most notable explanations for this incident is that the man from Taured had somehow passed through a parallel dimension by accident, and ended up at Haneda Airport. It has been suggested that, based on this explanation, there is a parallel earth which is similar to ours with the exception that the locations called Andorra here is known as Taured over there. Another suggestion is that the man was a time traveler from the future, thou this interpretation is arguably more problematic than the one supposing inter-dimensional travel.

It has also been suggested that an incident like that did indeed happen, though perhaps much less sensational. This more mundane story could have been embellished each time it was told, so much so that it eventually evolved into the great mystery that it is known as today.

Finally, it is also entirely possible that this story is merely an urban legend. The story of the ‘Man from Taured’ might not have even occurred in the first place, and may have just been the creation of someone’s imagination.

IMO a very real case of Time Travel. The Japanese are very wise and have an affinity for spoken word and details to events. I suspect, just like UFO sightings, these are time travelers from the Multiverse from points in time behind and forward of current time. Black holes are essentially worm holes to another universe in the multiverse. Our scientific discoveries are less than a century old. We can't launch a new Space Shuttle, we can hardly have a man in space for a full 365 days, just 340 days. We are Neanderthals in the vast multiverse in terms of knowledge and capabilities. There are certain people in the World who think 1 being created everything we can and cannot see. The first question to them is this, who or what created that being who was capable of creating all this, that and the unknown? Earthlings have been on this planet for less than day of a year in comparison to the existence of this planet and multiverse.

............Time Travel? Time Travel is your serious opinion? see, this is the problem with your race, humanity believes time is not a constant, and can be manipulated,and shifted........Time is not an illusion! Time can not be manipulated, in any way at all!! setting your clocks forward or behind is the only way humanity will ever be able to manipulate Time, understand that!! allow me to explain exactly how constant and immutable time is using your own science, 186,287 miles per second is the speed of light, it takes 499.0 seconds for light from the sun to reach the surface of the earth, it does not matter if it at the top of mount Chimborazo or at the bottom of the Kola BoreHole, no matter what it only takes 499.0 seconds, now think bout that for a minute. Time is not immutable, it can not be subjected to manipulation, the time line you are on right now is a constant! for arguments sake lets say you somehow force this time line to change, the timeline you are on now will proceed as though nothing happened the second time line would not lose a millisecond nor would it gain a millisecond, it would just run right beside the original ,this is called dimensional drifting, see, a line describes one dimension, a plane describes two dimensions, and a cube describes three dimensions. this guy, the guy that showed up at the Japanese airport, was experiencing dimensional drifting, in theory its not too hard of a thing to achieve, Tesla knew how to achieve it, but was limited to the technology of his time, today, anyone with the drive and some knowledge could achieve it!!

I CHALLENGE ANYONE THAT SAYS DIMENSIONAL DRIFTING IS BUNK, OR THAT OTHER DIMENSIONS DO NOT EXIST TO DO A CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT AND INHALE 2 HITS OF N,N-Dimethyltryptamine, for those of you that do not know, it is THE SINGLE ONLY substance found in every form of matter in the universe, it is in every star,every blade of grass,every being, everything, its the 1 single compound that ties the universe together! if you want to be enlightened, expanded, if you want to understand this is the only real way!

If this stuff is in every matter in the universe why are you inhaling it.You should be loaded with it. Let's get some sense into this conversation please.The product appears in certain plants as a natural product and has been used by Amazonian Indians for "medicinal " purposes for aeons. It proves nothing by taking it apart from you hallucinating that your dimension is shifting. Perhaps you were being sarcastic and I missed it. Cheers if you were..
